Well, G2 developers usually claim a lot on long days. Tigertree hashes (TTH) are no G2 feature in any way. It's not even a Gnutella feature. The scheme was designed by a third party (read the THEX specs for details) and someone people decided to use it in Gnutella. As this is mainly about file transfers not the Gnutella protocol, it happens to be used by G2 as well. That's simply because file transfer doesn't really differ between Gnutella and G2. Yes, Gtk-Gnutella still lacks support for TTH. That's one of its negative points. However, I for one, rarely had a problem with that. Apparently it heavily depends on what you download. Also the larger the file, the higher the probability that someone uploads a bad chunk - by accident or purpose. In any case, once the download is finished and the SHA-1 matches you can be certain that the file is fine. Actually, I don't think TTH solves much for the common case. It's only really useful if the SHA-1 and the TTH come from a trustworthy source. However, magnet-links are not widely used as of yet and trusting a random search result resp. peer to advertize the correct checksums, doesn't really solve any of the issues. -- Christian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
